In the magic world of the theatre there exists a unique unity of purpose. In its striving for a perfect blending of scene, atm osphere and spoken line this spirit seem s to transcend the individual interest of the actor, director, designer and tech­nician. But most effective use of these practitioners makes it necessary that they be guided by a firm, knowledgeable, and above all, appreciative hand. A sense for the proper applica­tion of suggestion, criticism and praise, the ability to inspire, maintain perspective, and make a quick but wise decision under trying circum stances, all of these are essential to the character of the leader who is ultimately responsible for the success of a theatrical organization: the executive director. Because Neal Du Brock possesses these talents in generous m easure and has dem onstrated consistently his willingness to give tirelessly of himself to promote the best efforts of his associates, the Studio Theatre has progressed to its present stage of professionalism. We of the Studio Board of Trustees join in grateful admiration of Mr. Du Brock, the exciting goals he has set for us, and his effectiveness in directing the way to their fulfillment.

in 1927 Jane Keeler, teacher of speech and drama, and Lars Potter, President or ihe Buffalo Players, joined commu­nity theatre and dramatics school for­ces to form the Studio Theatre School. It was opened that fall in a second floor lodge meeting hali on Elmwood Avenue at the corner of Anderson with Miss Keeler as Director, the late Shel­don Viele of ihe Theatre Guild as Scene Designer, Mr. Potter, President of the Board of Directors, and Kathryn Kingdon handling a multitude of jobs incident to the launching of thetheatre, from publicity to stage managing. The 1930 season was highlighted by the David Belasco Gold Cup Competition in New York: Studio players won over Little Theatre groups from all over the nation w ith Anato le France’s The Man Who M arried a Dumb Wife.

In time the School outgrew its quarters on Elmwood Avenue and moved to the old Gayety Theatre at Huron and Pearl, rem ain ing there two and a half seasons. During this time the Studio launched the first summer theatre in the Buffalo area, near Orchard Park. Miss Kingdon’s interest had turned to directing and for five summers she directed eight plays each season, con­tinuing her regular duties at the Studio Theatre during ihe w in te r season.

The School was moved again in 1934, this time to a concert hall on the sec­ond floor of the old Teck Theatre, until that building was converted to a movie house three years later. The School conducted a building cam­paign in the fall of 1936; one of its promotions was an invitation to theatre patrons to “ buy a brick for $1.” With the $31,000 raised among more than 2,000 Western New Yorkers, the Uni- versalist Church at Lafayette and Hoyt was purchased and the old structure was remodeled and adapted to the needs of the Theatre and School. Mr. Potter’s efforts in 1939 resulted in the receipt of a $25,000 Rockefeller Foun­dation g rant in recogn ition of the Theatre’s civic value, a sum which paid off the building mortgage and

permitted expansion of the School's community drama program. Another of Mr. P o tte r’s achievem ents was the incorporation of the School as a non -p ro fit educational in s titu tion under the State Board of Regents.

Miss Kingdon's long association with the Theatre has been one of its marks of distinction. Her official titles of Scene Designer, Artistic Director, and presenily Assistant Director manifest the extent of her continuing contribu­tions of technical and practical skills.

The gu id ing ta len t of the S tudio Theatre was, of course, Miss Keeler. During her thirty-two years as active Director, she produced more than 200 plays, taught countless students the rudiments of acting, good speech and public speaking, and earned the Studio national recognition as one of the coun­try’s five leading Little Theatres. Miss Keeler’s distinguished service to the community, her concern for her stu­dents and her love of good theatre have won her many awards and citations as well as the deep affection and respect of Buffalo players and theatre goers.

Miss Keeler retired in 1958 and became Director Emeritus. About this time the prospects of community theatre across the country began to change, and the Board of Trustees set out to make the transition to professional theatre. Their first step towards this goal was the appo in tm ent of Neal Du B rock as Executive Director, and during his two and a half years with the Theatre its new im a g e b e g a n to e m e rg e .

:r.e pianist ripping off a caden­za. the sculptor drawing fe rn from granite , the com ?cian convulsing his audience with a simple gesture of Ihe hand— ii all looks so easy! Where does it aii begin, this ease ot performance that satisfies and seduces us into believing thai “ We, too, could . .."? Ii begins in a school, a workshop, a stu­dio. a p lace like the S tudio Theatre School, where the first step is taken in awakening senses and sensibilities. And the second step, practicing the disciplines and mastering tech­n ique—the Studio offers that, too. Children and adults alike enjoy the o ppo rtun ity to ex­plore the world of theatre both off stage and on. Now. the creation of a resident company opens new vistas: apprentice­ships and o ppo rtun itie s to observe artists working in their crafts and even to perform with them provide the students with an incentive to work still hard­er. For those w ith am bitio ’n even the last step to becoming a performing artist becomes practical. The Studio School can now extend itself to those who wish to train as profes­sionals while it continues to satisfy the community desire fo r an enrichm ent program . The Niagara Frontier is filled with Studio alumni who speak w ith p ride and nosta lg ia of their previous association with the School; perhaps a major part of the support fo r the Arena Theatre is due to them. Their commitment has been to the theatre as an art; the Studio Theatre School continues to share th is commitmen-t w ith the S tudio Arena Theatre.
